denied rumours that ace actor, Babatunde Omidina, known as Baba Suwe, excreted
wraps of cocaine or any other hard drugs under the observation of the Agency’s

to him, ‘the story is untrue, there is nothing new, he is still under
observation”. Sunday evening, it was rumoured and widely reported in some

hacked by unknown individual.

oversize suit that well befits his size, roamed around the premises of the hall

Cora,
real name Carolin Berger, had been in a coma for nine days following the
operation when she died yesterday. The 23-year-old had gone under the knife to
boost her bust from a 34F to a 34G. The clinic in Germany where she had the
enhancement is now being investigated.

Her
family members were called to the hospital where they were told that Cora had
been without oxygen during the op for 15 minutes and was in ‘serious
condition’. The heavily tattooed adult actress had come to the nation’s
attention as a contestant in the German Big Brother house last year.

Berger behaved increasingly more and more outrageously in the show finally

wedding which has been scheduled for November 18th 2011 at the Recovery House,
Port Harcourt International Church.

wedding is already talk of town and it is going to be one of the best ever as
Muma is employing the best hands to help her out.

Recalled, the two
have done their traditional wedding some months back.

hard in Enugu right now in a film production. Who knows, maybe he wants to
finish the jobs he has at hand before walking down the aisle with his wife.

"very serious trauma to the head, neck and the chest" and later went
into cardiac arrest, MotoGP medical director Michele Macchiagodena told
reporters.

where the rider was taken following a crash at the Malaysian Grand Prix

time (0856 GMT)," MotoGP said in a sombre statement.

its deepest condolences to Marco's family, friends and team at this tragic
loss."

was motionless on the track after the impact, had been fourth at the end of lap
one. Edwards also fell but escaped serious
injury, while Rossi, on a Ducati, was able to return to the pits.

is official. He is dead. He succumbed to his injuries," said an official
with Dorna, the company that runs MotoGP, who spoke on condition of anonymity
pending a formal announcement. Although there is a final race in Spain still to
come, Australia'sCasey

BBC2. "Whenever the helmet comes off that's not a good sign."

Saharareporters broke this latest news on Baba Suwe Drug
plight this evening and the blogger wouldn’t report it until a personal online
search is done to back-check this claim and since Saharareporters did not
provide a link to the story. My search was successful just now and I can
confirm to you my esteemed readers that Dr. Subhash Vijayvargiya is actually an
ex-convict in India.

According to an Indian online news source I
stumbled on, i.e. www.news.webindia123.com,
in October 2007, a local court convicted and sentenced Bhopal-based diagnostic
centre's proprietor Subhash Vijayvargiya to three year imprisonment and also
imposed a fine of Rs 5,000, for Non-maintenance of Ultrasonographies records
which amounts to a criminal act.

News.webindia123.com reported that Chief Judicial Magistrate Pradeep Mittal
sentenced Dr Vijayvargiya under Pre-Natal Diagnostic Technique Act (PNDT). District's
Chief Medical Officer had filed a complaint against Dr Vijayvargiya following
an inspection of his diagnostic centre where no record of the Ultrasonographies
had been kept.

A Tweet from ChannelsTV on the CT Scan Dr. Subhash Vijayvargiya Conducted

Yesterday this blog reported tweets from ChannelsTV twitter page wherein the TV station
tweeted, “LASUTH's Dr. Subhash Vijayvargiya conducted the CT Scan which results
confirm that Baba Suwe has large amounts of narcotic drugs in his body”.

Question?
How credible are the findings of LASUTH's Indian Radiologist Dr. Subhash Vijayvargiya considering his past criminal record?

Kim KardashianandKris
Humphrieshave
been dogged bydivorcerumors
ever since they said “I do” for the 800cameraspresent
at their wedding. And Kim wouldn’t have it any other way. You see, for every
magazine that features her smug mug on the cover, she’s getting paid.

Still,Kris was seen moving some boxes out ofthe hotelin
New York, where they’ve been staying. He was also without his wedding ring!
Could it be that Kris really has grown sickand tiredof
her crap and has decided to leave her ignoramus butt?

Don’t
hold yourbreath. They’re actually just finished with wrapping
their New York basedreality show,Kourtney
& Kim Take New York. Kim took to Twitterto say, “Can’t believe we are done with
New York! 3 months went by so fast! Boxes everywhere in our hotel! All ready to
go home! #BeenFunNY”.

Taking
a load off: Later Kris was spotted getting a pedicure, still without his
wedding ring

A
sourceadded, “The show is wrapping, so they all have been
packing up. Kris is headed to Vegas with Kim for her birthday weekend.”

So
he hasn’t gotten smart yet, but it’s only a matter of time!

Also
pampering: Kim and older sister Kourtney, 32, were also seen going into a nail
salon, but it is unclear whether it was the same salon as the New Jersey
Nets player
